GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPONE LIFE ULTRA HARDCORE SURVIVAL
I found a brand new hardcore survival server where your first death is your last. It is one life only so every fight and every risky trip matters.
The overworld is huge with a big border so people can spread out but still run into each other. The End is also limited so it does not feel endless.
Pvp is meant to stay more classic with sword and bow fights. End crystals and respawn anchors are not allowed for pvp.
Griefing killing and scamming are allowed so you really cannot trust random players. Cheating hacking and exploits are not allowed so it is still supposed to be fair.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOne Rule Vanilla SMP No Cheating
I found this SMP that keeps it super simple. It is basically vanilla with only minimal add ons and the main rule is do not cheat.
It has simple voice chat so people can talk in game. The Nether and the End are open and it is kind of a race since anyone can go if they get there first.
String duping and TNT and sand duping are allowed. It feels like classic survival where you just do your own thing but you should still watch your back because someone could be watching you.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPure Vanilla Semi-Anarchy No Hacks

This is an Unstable style SMP idea but it is meant to be unscripted so real players can actually change what happens. It is more of a roleplay kind of server so people are supposed to act things out and make stories.
It has a 100 player cap at once. You get 3 lives and there is a chance to get revived so deaths matter.
The world has weird stuff like the Farlands and even orbital strike cannons. There is no underworld though. You can play from Java or Bedrock since it is crossplay.
The main rule is no hacking. If you want to grief you technically can but they really want you to do RP stuff instead of just ruining everything for no reason.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAloria Vanilla SMP With Proximity Voice
